Friday Five: Scripture Prayers for HIS

The senior high at Heritage International School has been on my heart this week.  And so today, will you join me in praying these Scripture prayers for these youth?

  1. I pray that the Christian students at Heritage would feel surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses, that they would lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares, and that they may run with perseverance the race that is set out for them, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith... may they consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest they become wear and discouraged in their souls. -Hebrews 12:1-3
  2. Please strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for their feet... send them "Aaron and Hur" friends to hold up their hands-so that together we can secure the victory at Heritage! -Hebrews 12:12-13 and Exodus17:12
  3. May they draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having their hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and their bodies washed with pure water.  May they hold fast the confession of their hope without wavering, for You who promised are faithful!  May they stir one another up to love and good works, and not cave to peer pressure.  -Hebrews 10:22-24
  4. I pray that You would grant them, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith: that they being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-that they would really know the love of Christ which passes knowledge;that they may be filled with all the fullness of God.  -Ephesians 3:15-19
  5. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever Amen. -Ephesians 3:20-21
